| Restart / Reset
If you cannot solve a problem through the diagnostic report or by reconfiguring a feature, either restarting or resetting the switch might help to solve the problem or help you to eliminate probable causes. For example, if the problem exists after you reset the switch to its default settings, it is unlikely that the switch is causing the problem. Click Submit after making your choice.
Restart the Switch | Use this option to restart the switch without turning off power. The switch retains its saved configuration settings during the restart process. However, the device manager is unavailable during the process. When the process completes, the switch redisplays the device manager. Note: Restarting the switch interrupts connectivity of your devices to the network.
Reset the Switch to Factory Defaults | Use this option to erase the current configuration settings and then to restart the switch. Notes: Resetting the switch to its factory defaults deletes all customized switch settings, including the IP address. You will need to reconfigure the basic switch settings (as described in the switch getting started guide) and use the new IP address to display the device manager. Resetting the switch causes lost connectivity of your devices to the network.
